Gameathon 2012: The Streaming

For the past few days I've been just sitting here staring idly at my Steam library. I have many many amazing games left to start, play, and finish and yet I've been feeling overwhelmed. With so many games backed up I don't know where to start. So I've decided to make a little game out of gaming.

I am going to try to beat every game I have currenly backed up by July 31st. What's even more fun than the ultimate gameathon?

Streaming it.

That's right. From now until July 31st anytime I play a game I'll be streaming it at twitch.tv/faidtastic and since I'm making an effort to get through all my games let's just say I'm going to be streaming an awful lot.

Now, a few of these games I've already beat once but would like to do so again (Dead Space, Dead Space 2, the Tomb Raiders, etc.) and others I just have goals, such as Civ V that I want to beat a game on a difficulty higher than "You must be a toddler, let's make everything easy."

As you can see we've got a hefty amount of game time ahead of us. Two Elder Scrolls games, New Vegas, and a few other pretty serious undertakings. But I've got three months and my only time constraint is 9 hours of WoW raiding, so let's get this underway!
